| all i can say is if ya cant find ya kids try looking in here. i stayed for an hour and not once did i see the staff i.d anyone... i know u cant always tell a persons age but come on have a little common sense. The toilets looked like they were regularly involved in a punch up and def not cleaned on a regular basis..... entertainment is available on a weekend but i wouldn't go out of my way to attend.... if i went here with a group of mates id feel like i was babysitting.. avoid if ya on the pull as ya might find ya self chatting up a minor.... Such a shame as i used to like this pub when it was the furkin discodisco - 2 Apr 2011 13:01 |
| The toilets are foul, yet the beer is OK, and is nice and quiet during the day, however can kick off in the evening phonak - 17 Jan 2010 17:10 |
| The Old Post Office baffles me. During the day it is absolutely dead aside from a few locals, passers by and pissheads. In the evening it is a little better, taking a leaf out of the Tap's book they now have different theme nights and cheap drink offers to boot, though again you still have a rather strange range of people, friendly bunch mind. Fridays and Saturdays though are a different beast, probably the busiest bar in the high street area (though that isnt saying much) you get all sorts, good and bad. Mostly bad. The toilets are absolutely legendary, in that they seem to be almost always utterly destroyed, despite feeble attempts to fix them (it is as if the staff realise there is no point any more) The staff tend to not stick around long, though once you become a regular it becomes apparent why, as there are only so many times you can get caught in a fight. That said the ones that have been there have been pretty nice, sometimes even quite friendly, though you get the odd moody one. Just don't get attatched. With all the negativity though, the Old Postie still provides a good night out, christ knows how or why it just seems to manage it. That doesn't make up for the terrible beer quality however, and the fact that they always seem to run out of whatever they do sell. Would be a great pub if they got consistent and down to earth door staff who dont act like it is their divine right to let you enter, cleaned their pipes and tidied the place up a bit. And make the toilets bullet proof. Beergod85 - 7 Jan 2010 19:04 |
| A pub that has been poor since it was converted into a pub. Many reasons - a) it is almost completely empty during the day apart from a handful of casual drinkers where it is very dark inside and the staff seem disinterested b) The toilets are legendary in the area - not only are doors, toilet roll holders, mirrors always broken and hanging off, the floor is always covered in urine night and day and people regulary actually take apart the BRICKWORK inside, physically knocking them out, damaging the walls to near destruction and leaving the remnants on the floor. Never seen anything like it. c) it is always very dead at weekends, particulary towards the end of the evening. d) Although the bar staff are generally ok, the doormen are of a very poor standard. e) it is a chain pub with no imagination, style or atmosphere. Overall, is cheap but throughly below average chain pub. There is no real point in visiting. Dunmall - 2 Jan 2009 04:38 |
| This pub seems to be a pub for squaddies. Which would be a great thing, if at the weekend they didn't want to fight random people. During the day it's a great pub, at night it's sort of not a pub I'd like to stay in. xkasabianx - 5 Oct 2008 18:56 |
